Palin on Russia
I've been tempted, but I haven't mocked Palin yet because, first, it's cheap, second, everybody's doing it, and third, it's just too easy:
Watch CBS Videos Online
It's truly stunning to know that she's the candidate of a major national party.
Yesterday, I heard rumors or suggestions that McCain's suspension was a ploy to delay the Friday debate so that the vice-presidential debate would have to be moved... and then conveniently forgotten about. At first it seemed too ridiculous: Canceling the debate, or pushing it back to a point where it would be too late to hold would generate so much bad press and bad sentiment in the public that it would be a fatal move. Now, watching Palin's performance here (and also on
this clip
, on the financial crisis) makes me start to believe it. It still seems far-fetched, but just maybe the campaign thinks it's better to risk the backlash than having Palin on stage, exposed, for an hour and a half.
